"This hilltop castle takes a bit of hiking up to, but trust me when I say, the views are worth it. It is reached by STEEP stairs.
The oldest surviving fortification in the Cinque Terre, Doria Castle dates back to around the 11th century. Now mostly a ruin, it allows for superb views over Vernazza and beyond.
The castle (Google Maps) is open 10 am to 9 pm May to August, and 10 am to 7 pm September to April, and can be accessed by heading up the steep staircase by the harbour. Entrance is €2 per person.
Top Tip // If you prefer to enjoy your views with a cold glass of Cinque Terre white wine and a decadent bowl of pasta, consider booking a table at Ristorante Bar La Torre, located in the upper part of the village. Be aware that it is super popular, so be sure to make a reservation.

"Beautiful view from the top of the village . This look out does require you to climb a good amount of steps but it is worth it. Once you reach the top you will have to pay a fee.Entrance fees are subject to change, so it's essential to check the latest information. When I visited in May of 2023 the fee was around 2 euro per person."

"If you're legs can handle a little more and you don't mind paying 2 euro you can pop up here to explore the ruins and the tower a bit. It gives really incredible views over Vernazza! "
